Last year we spent a week at the beach and a little boy had a shrimp slurp gun. Luke spent hours with him, slurping up inedible ghost shrimp, feeding them to the birds, and catching them in a pail to be released later. Unfortunately, when the boy left, so did his slurp gun.

Those slurp guns werent worth the plastic they are made out of. They are only good for baby high-hats or something really really slow. I used to send the net up between rocks or block a small canyon and then chase the specific fish I was trying to get into the canyon.

2155 Slurp Gun, Trapper 30x3.25 Inch Opening - Also called a Yabbie Pump. Slurp Guns are used for catching tropical fish and invertebrates in hard to get to areas in aquariums and in the ocean or fresh water while diving and snorkeling.

The slurp gun was not effective, but the nets described above worked well. The clear plastic doesn't catch on corals etc. I used 1/2 gal clear plastic food containers (Rubbermaid?) that had a flip open lid to keep the critters in.

How to use the SLURP GUN. The slurp gun is best if used in rocky areas. Also the mesh net is helpful when collecting fish in open water areas. Pull back the plunger, then aim it at the desired fish. As soon as the fish turns into the current iphone 4S cases, pull back the plunger and capture it.
